About this study

Official title: Colorectal Resection in Emergency General Surgery - To Anastomose, or Not to Anastomose

Primary anastomosis is associated with higher rates of perioperative morbidity/mortality and that fecal diversion improves overall mortality, decreases length of stay, and lowers rates of surgical complications requiring unplanned operative intervention.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study. All patients undergoing colon resection in the urgent/emergent setting meeting our inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Data will be collected prospectively and the decision to perform proximal diversion or anastomosis is solely the responsibility of the managing acute care surgeon. No guidelines or protocols will be suggested so as to avoid any influence on practitioner decision-making. The plan is to complete the data collection and analysis by 03/01/2020

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Perioperative mortality and need for unplanned procedural intervention

    Perioperative mortality and need for unplanned procedural intervention (intervention by a surgeon, radiologist, or interventional radiologist).

    Measured: 1 days to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Resection, run by Methodist Health System at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Perioperative mortality and need for unplanned procedural intervention (time frame: 1 days to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Dec 2021.
